[88 STAT.
not more than $2,000,000 shall be allotted under this section for a project at a single locality if such project protects an area which has been declared to be a major disaster area pursuant to the Disaster Relief Act of 1966 or the Disaster Relief Act of 1970 in the five-year period immediately preceding the date the Chief of Engineers deems such work advisable. The provisions of local cooperation specified in section 3 of the Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, as amended, shall apply. The work shall be complete in itself and not commit the United States to any additional improvement to insure its successful operation, except as may result from the normal procedure applying to projects authorized after submission of preliminary examination and survey reports." SEC. 62. (a) The Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, is authorized to perform such work as may be necessary to provide for the repair and conversion to a fixed-type structure of dam numbered 3 on the Big Sandy River, Kentucky and West Virginia. (b) The work authorized by this section shall have no effect on the condition that local interests shall own, operate, and maintain the structure and related properties as required by the Act of August 6, 1956 (70 Stat. 1062). (c) There is authorized to be appropriated not to exceed $330,000 to carry out this section. SEC. 63. The project for hurricane-flood control at Texas City and vicinity, Texas, authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 13, 1968, is hereby modified to provide that the non-Federal interests shall have until July 1, 1974, to provide the assurances of local cooperation required in accordance with the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers in House Document Numbered 187, Ninetieth Congress. SEC. 64. Subsection (b) of section 206 of the Flood Control Act of 1960, as amended (33 U.S.C. 709a), is further- amended by striking out "$11,000,000" and inserting in lieu thereof "$15,000,000". SEC. 65. In the case of any reservoir' project authorized for construction by the Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Reclamation, or other Federal agency when the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency determines pursuant to section 102(b) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act that any storage in such project for regulation of streamflow for water quality is not needed, or is needed in a different amount, such project may be modified accordingly by the head of the appropriate agency- and any storage no longer required for water quality may be utilized for other authorized purposes of the project when, in the opinion of the head of such agency, such use is justified. Any such modification of a project where the benefits attributable to water quality are 15 per centum or more but not greater than 25 per centum of the total project benefits shall take effect only upon the adoption of resolutions approving such modification by the appropriate committees of the Senate and House of Representatives. The provisions of the section shall not apply to any project where the benefits attributable to water quality exceed 25 per centum of the total project benefits. SEC. 66. (a) The Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, is authorized to undertake measures to clear the channel of the main channel of the Little Calumet River, Illinois, from its confluence with the Calumet-Sag channel eastward to Indiana State line, of fallen trees, roots, silt, and other debris and objects which contribute to flooding, unsightliness, and pollution of the river.
